Chapter 368: Requesting to Fight
The common people of Dongying grow up watching Ultraman fight monsters; when they were young, many believed that monsters truly existed in this world and longed to become superheroes like Ultraman.
Once everyone grew up, they understood that Ultraman and monsters were both fantasies and did not exist in the real world at all.
But now, as fighter jets are casually blown up by those two people from Shenzhou, and countless artillery shells fail to penetrate their protective shields, such an unbelievable scene is being transmitted to thousands of households via live internet streaming.
"Is this a newly filmed disaster movie? This is too fake; these two humans are too powerful. If they were replaced with the image of King Kong or Godzilla, I might believe it."
"Haha, yeah, I even thought aliens were invading Earth, it's just that the appearance of these two aliens is too ordinary; they look exactly like us Earthlings."
"The special effects look really cool. Look at the Flying Swords of those two protagonists; they are so sharp that a single flash of sword light can cut a tank in half. They are even more powerful than our Killing God One Blade Slash."
"That's nothing. I previously saw on the internet that these two humans withstood a Mushroom Bomb explosion head-on. Could these two humans be Super Saiyans? This is too badass; even a Mushroom Bomb explosion can't kill them."
On the internet, many people see the video and don't believe it's real at all, instead thinking it's the latest blockbuster movie being promoted online in advance.
However, the common people at the battle site saw the process of the battle with their own eyes and were stunned into speechlessness.
They watched in disbelief as those two people from Shenzhou moved forward unstoppably through a hail of bullets; all the armored vehicles, tanks, and Missile Launch Vehicles blocking their path were torn to pieces by flashes of sword light and black blade auras.
Some of the spreading blade auras even sliced a forty or fifty-story building nearby in two, and some stray sword auras cut deep trenches over ten meters into the concrete ground in an instant.
The destructive power of these two people from Shenzhou is even more terrifying than Godzilla or the Great Demon King Beast Magata Orochi.
The common people at the scene used their mobile phones to film the latest battle videos from various angles and posted them online, telling everyone that this is truly happening and that there really are people who possess incredible combat power.
At first, many netizens were still skeptical, but as more and more live videos were posted online, the common people of Dongying had to believe that there really were two people from Shenzhou like Superman slaughtering wildly in Dongying.
Whether in Dongying, Shenzhou, or other places, there exist transcendent Immortal Cultivators, but under normal circumstances, these cultivators do not easily display their superpowers in front of ordinary people.
Although ordinary people have seen glimpses of cultivators in movies and television shows, the vast majority know those are illusions; but today, everyone is truly seeing cultivators, which makes them terrified and uneasy.
"Could the previous video of those two people from Shenzhou withstanding a Mushroom Bomb also be real? Heavens, this is too terrifying. Even a Mushroom Bomb cannot eliminate them. Aren't these soldiers going to their deaths by using conventional weapons to intercept them?"
"I once had the fortune to see a real Ninja take action; their combat power was also terrifying. Now that a strong enemy has invaded, why haven't our Onmyoji and Ninjas gone out to fight?"
"That's right! Shenzhou has Immortal Cultivators, and we in Dongying have Onmyoji and Ninjas. But why, after the battle has started for so long, have these experts not appeared? Have they all turned into cowards? Baka! What a bunch of greedy, cowardly bastards!"
"With a strong enemy invading, where are the Onmyoji and Ninjas still hiding? Please stand up as soon as possible and fight to the death; don't let these ordinary soldiers go to their deaths."
The common people of Dongying on the internet are calling for the Onmyoji and Ninjas to fight, and inside the headquarters of the Yasukuni Shrine, a group of First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade hot-blooded Ninjas are also successively requesting to fight.
"My Lord, please order us to fight. This subordinate is willing to be like the Kamikaze Special Attack Force of the past; even if it means total destruction, I will inflict heavy damage on the arrogant Chinese people."
"My Lord, we are not afraid of death. Just let me go. For the glory of the Empire, we can no longer tolerate this. Just let me go and fight to the death."
"That's right, My Lord. Thousands of ordinary soldiers are fighting in a bloody battle, yet we experts are hiding here and not moving. This is a disgrace. Please let us wash away the shame those two Chinese people have brought upon us with our own blood."
Abe Taimei knelt cross-legged on the tatami mat, his face as gloomy as water, and said coldly: "Gentlemen, you must remember, the word 'endure' has a blade above it. A Ninja is meant to endure what ordinary people cannot. Now is not the time for impulse."
"Everyone sitting here is an expert to ordinary people, but to Fifth-grade Cultivators like Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng, you are merely stronger ants. With a casual move, they could tear you to pieces."
"You are all elites of the Empire; do not make meaningless sacrifices. Wait for Lord Kamo no Tadayuki to come out of seclusion. Under his leadership, we will surround and kill those two damned Chinese people, and then we will follow him to conquer Shenzhou, and inflict the evil deeds those two Chinese people have imposed on Dongying back upon the Chinese people a hundred or a thousand times over. That is what we should do."
All the cultivators of Dongying take Kamo no Tadayuki as their leader. Now that Kamo no Tadayuki is in seclusion, Abe Taimei is temporarily the administrator, but Abe Taimei is only a Fourth Grade Lower Tier Onmyoji and cannot command respect.
In normal times, everyone barely obeyed Abe Taimei's management out of respect for Kamo no Tadayuki, but now that two Chinese Immortal Cultivators are crazily slaughtering the regular army, the hot-blooded Ninjas and Onmyoji can no longer endure it.
"Excuses, all excuses! There is an old saying in China: 'If this can be endured, what cannot?' The enemy has already reached our homeland, and you, Abe Taimei, are still telling us to endure. I can't take it anymore; I'm going to fight those two Chinese people to the death right now."
An old man wearing a yellow-brown Ninja outfit with graying hair flickered his body, performed the Earth Escape Technique, merged into the ground, and rushed rapidly toward the location of Meng Yifan and the other.
"I'm going too!"
"Let's go together! We cannot let the Chinese people think that we in Dongying have no experts."
"Haha, count me in!"
More than half of the Onmyoji and Ninjas present used their various methods and left the Yasukuni Shrine.
Abe Taimei shook his head, looking at the departing crowd with complex eyes. With Fifth-grade Cultivators invading, forbearance is the wise move, but these people who choose to fight even knowing it is certain death are also brave warriors worthy of admiration.
"Master, I hope you succeed in your fusion soon and come out to eliminate the enemy." Abe Taimei pressed his palms together and prayed silently for Kamo no Tadayuki.
